BALTIMORE, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sheppard Pratt Health System was named one of the nation's top ten psychiatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report in its 2019-2020 Best Hospitals rankings.

"We are focused on the needs of each individual we serve. Our commitment is to support people through every decade of their life, while delivering world-class services and compassionate care across the full continuum of care," said Harsh K. Trivedi, MD, MBA, president and CEO of Sheppard Pratt Health System.
